Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit either.

One tends to give one's fingers too little credit for their own good sense.

For people allergic to wool, one's heart can only bleed.

Really, handknitting is a dreamy activity, built into many people's thumbs and fingers by genes already there, itching to display their skills and achievement possibilities.

I can knit. I knit all year, day in, day out. It is my passion, and I rarely knit the same thing twice the same way.

What? You can't knit in the dark? Stuff and nonsense; anybody can. Shut your eyes. Knit one stitch. Open your eyes and look at the stitch; it's all right. Shut your eyes and knit two stitches. Open them. Shut them. Knit three stitches. Falling off a log is no comparison.
